If you dont think certain games are fixed, explain this

[Vin_vermillion]

It is not debatable whether or not games have been fixed in the past. Therefore, it goes without saying that games COULD obviously be fixed in the future.

Why still bet on games?


1. < 0.001% of all games are (probably) fixed, so the odds that you are betting on a fixed game are very VERY VERY slim.
2. Even if you bet on a handful of fixed games a year somehow, it probably wouldn't matter in the long run, because sometimes you'd be betting on the side that is fixed to win sometimes, and sometimes you'd be betting on the side that's fixed to lose. Unless Vegas itself was fixing the games to make teams that aren't being bet on by the public to win, then it's not a huge real big problem.

Would I prefer that 0 games were fixed? Absolutely. But it's insane beyond belief to think that the last time they caught someone fixing a game was the last time it will ever happen. I doubt I've EVER bet on a fixed game, and I doubt I ever will.

Althought I sincerely doubt you are right about the # of games fixed, this is overall a good post...

I am now moving on from this thread....it's worn out.

It is real simple. If you think the games are fixed, STOP WAGERING. You losers in here are always looking for some sorry a** excuse to blame your losses on. There is only ONE reason why you lost. You wagered on the WRONG TEAM. There is no such thing as a good LOSING wager. Get a life losers. Stop your whining and man up. If you can not afford the 5-10 bucks you put on a game, DON'T WAGER.

Also, for you dreamers who think you know what the public wagered on, you have no idea. Not a clue. You take some meaningless stat which could be intentionally incorrect, and claim that you know everything. I can tell you right now that it is the amount wagered, not the number of people who wager, that determines a line. I wager more on a game than the rest of the people in this thread added up, so my wager is going to be a lot more meaningful to the books than all of yours combined.

oh my

This post is amazing (It's gotta be sarcastic, right?)

I can't say that I agree with Vin on some of his other posts but I do here. Games are fixed you just hope that you are on the "right" side and by that I mean the winning side. I've read so many times that we were on the right side but it lost and if that happened you were on the wrong side. We're all here to make some money and I would rather be on the "wrong" side and win then on the supposed "right" side and lose. By the way I took Pitt too but just enough to pay my bar bill so I'm happy!
